Jacob Athyal – Actor

About Me

My name is Jacob Oommen Athyal and I’m an Indian born, American actor. I hold an MFA in the Creation of New Works from The Ohio State University and I am a member of Actors Equity Association.

I’ve worked professionally as an actor since 2011 primarily in Boston, and on occasion in New York City and Juneau, Alaska.

Actor

Elliot Norton Award won for Best Actor, 2018 Central Sq. Theatre’s Guards at the Taj by Rajiv Joseph, directed by Gabriel Weissman.

Story

I was born in Tamil Nadu, a state at the southern tip of India. My family is from the state of Kerala (google it, it’s beautiful) and I came to the United States for my education in 2010. I accidently walked into the Theatre Department because of a work-study application mishap and haven’t looked back.
